Patent AU-5473099-A (AU)
Title: Patio umbrella with radiant heater
Inventor: CLARK WALTER B
IPC: A45B23/00
Filed: 1999-08-09
Abstract: A patio umbrella that includes a dining table and a fuel-burning radiant heater avoids overheating of the upper canopy by mounting the support on which the upper canopy rests in the shadow cast by a reflector that converges upwardly to a chimney portion. The reflector is affixed to the housing of the combustion chamber. In addition to reflecting radiant heat downwardly onto the table and the diners, the reflector shields the upper canopy support from radiant heat and provides a duct for venting the products of combustion. As the latter pass up through the chimney portion, cooler air is drawn up through the space between the reflector and the upper canopy support thereby preventing hot air from stagnating there. The upper canopy support is mounted to the reflector and spaced above it by a number of insulative ceramic spacers. Brackets affixed to the reflector extend outwardly of the pivotal attachment of the ribs of the umbrella, thereby permitting the ribs to clear the combustion chamber and at the same time shortening the ribs so that when the umbrella is closed the lower ends of the ribs are well above the table top so as not to intrude into the space used for serving food. A safety switch, mounted within the column that supports the heater, extinguishes the heater as the umbrella is closed.

Title: A method and apparatus for flood irrigation
Inventor: HOLLOWAY RUFUS M JR
IPC: E02B13/00
Filed: 1999-08-30
Abstract: The system includes a plurality of flood plains. Each flood plain contains a plurality of plants and each plant is held in a pot. The flood plains are excavated at different elevations from an upper most elevation to a lower most elevation. The flood plains are sequentially flooded for a resident time period with a selected volume of water directed from a water source. As the flood plains are excavated to different elevations, gravity, and a series of flood gates, control the water flow from one flood plain to a next lower flood plain. Each flood plain has a top surface and an underlying bed comprising a soil and clay composition. The surface of each bed is contoured to adequately drain water from one flood plain to the next. This clay mixture firms the bed to adequately support vehicles and laborers to prevent depressions in the bed which may adversely affect water flow in and out of a flood plain. Each of the flood plains is lined with a water impermeable membrane. The flood plains are also contoured to effectively drain water from one flood plain to the next. A water reclamation system is connected to the irrigation system. Water drained from the flood plains is collected in a retention pond and pumped to a holding pond. The water in the holding pond or reservoir is used to flood the irrigation field.

Title: A method of forming macrocomposite bodies by self-generated vacuum techniques, and products produced therefrom
Inventor: KANTNER ROBERT CAMPBELL
IPC: C22C1/10
Filed: 1990-07-06
Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel process for forming macrocomposite bodies. Particularly, a suitable matrix metal (33), typically in a molten state, is in contact with a suitable mass of filler material or preform (31) located adjacent to, or in contact with, at least one second material in the presence of a suitable reactive atmosphere in an impermeable container (32), at least at some point during the process, which permits a reaction to occur between the reactive atmosphere and the molten matrix metal (33) and/or mass of filler material or preform (31) and/or impermeable container (32), thereby causing molten matrix metal (33) to infiltrate the mass of filler material or preform (31) due to, at least in part, the creation of a self-generated vacuum. Such self-generated vacuum infiltration occurs without the application of any external pressure or vacuum. The molten matrix metal (33) infiltrates the mass of filler material or preform (31) to such an extent that the molten matrix metal (33) contacts at least a portion of the at least one second material. Upon cooling the matrix metal (33) to a temperature below the melting point of the matrix metal, a macrocomposite body is formed comprising a metal matrix composite body bonded to at least a portion of the at least one second material.

Title: Encoding/decoding fields of predetermined field polarity apparatus and method
Inventor: KATO MOTOKI
IPC: H04N19/50
Filed: 1996-08-22
Abstract: A moving picture is encoded into groups of video image pictures with each frame composed of fields of different field polarities including a predetermined field polarity. The polarity of the first field of a series of frames to be encoded into a respective group of image pictures is set to the predetermined field polarity. Alternatively, the polarity of the first field of the series of frames may be identified by data transmitted with the encoded moving picture. The encoded moving picture is decoded at a decode start time designated when the first field in each respective group of image pictures is of the predetermined field polarity. Alternatively, the decode start time is generated on the basis of the data designating the field polarity of the first field. A computer-readable medium provides a medium on which the encoded moving picture is recorded and directs a computer to decode the encoded moving picture when the first image picture in each respective group of image pictures is an encoded field of the predetermined field polarity or, alternatively, when the field read from the medium is the first field as designated by designating data. <IMAGE>
